/*
 *  Fast, sleazy, and ugly zero function.
 *
 *  Note that this will only work on a VAX, but it is real easy to write a
 *  similar function for whatever machine you may need.  If nothing else,
 *  just a simple loop in C will suffice.

 *  Enhanced by William LeFebvre of Rice University to handle zeroing more
